Geoff Harrower, A.K.A. GameplayDevUFC, has been posting quite a few details on the upcoming EA Sports UFC 2 patch on his Twitter page. While no date for the patch has been revealed, he has posted quite a few nuggets. Check out some of them below and let us know what you think!

• Added the ability to block when in any level of hit reaction to the legs or body. This should fix the "magic combo" issues.
• Tuned AI transition denial success rate to be more dependent on grapple advantage
• Increased stand up arm health damage taken when holding High Block by 20%
• Reduced stand up arm health recovery when holding High Block by 20%
• Fixed exploit that allowed fighters to hold their opponent in side saddle with little opportunity for escape
• Added Grapple Advantage Meter which allows users to better understand grappling mechanics and timing
• Improved AI takedown defense
• Further AI stamina management tuning
• Taunt with @BlessedMMA in the last 20 seconds of the round and have your opponent taunt back to end a round "The Holloway"

I hope this works! If it does it will make striking more fun. I hate those dum combos.

Plz let this work!!!!

Might actually play now that the dumb combos are tuned.

Lol...I'd been having a lot of success hitting folks with the jump roundhouse kick and hitting them with lead roundhouse during reaction time. Wonder if that's what they mean?

[HereticGabriel]

Any reactions. The biggest one the 1-2 leg kick head kick combo.

Does this mean if you get hit reaction to legs or body opponent can still block high during those reactions?


If so I'm not sure I like that fix, people already camp on high block and one of the only ways to get around it is when you land a good body shot. For example a knee to the body to make opponents hand move followed by a overhand.
